Concert Information
Author and broadcaster Matthew Sweet joins the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Philharmonic in its MediaCityUK studios for a special edition of Sound of Cinema, ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 3’s weekly survey of the world of film music.
For this programme, he introduces a selection of music drawn from some of the greatest scores composed by one of the true masters of the genre - Elmer Bernstein.
Over a period of some sixty years, Bernstein penned some of Hollywood’s best loved and most iconic themes. Not only was he blessed with a wonderful musical imagination, and a great gift for melody, he was also a master at writing for the orchestra. In this celebratory afternoon concert, enjoy the drama, the heartache and the pizazz of classic Bernstein - including The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, To Kill A Mockingbird, An American Werewolf in London, and much, much more.
Sound of Cinema.
³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 3’s Sound of Cinema is broadcast on Saturday afternoons at 3pm and available to stream or download for 30 days after broadcast via ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Sounds.
